Jarndyce & Jarndyce update
A few months ago we started feeding two stray cats who live in my building. I can’t let them in the house because there’s no room, my three cats would freak out, and there will be war. So I give the outdoor cats Janko Jarndyce and Jarko Jarndyce (names out of men’s tennis and Dickens) regular meals outside my door. Mike, who is too traumatized by the loss of his cat Mingming to adopt another cat, provides the kibble. Jarndyce & Jarndyce are no longer scraggly and Jarko no longer hisses when approached. In fact Jarko has indicated that he (or she) wishes to go inside the house, and is attempting to manipulate me with soulful looks.
